Not at all. I suspect that the majority of users are now installing their printers using manufacturers' drivers. It just means that Mick will need to make a Gutenprint PET available in a repo for people who need it.

I always make a visual comparison when checking MD5 sums, but, in case it may be of some general interest, perhaps there is an automated method?

My regards

May I recommend winMd5Sum Portable - a simple MD5 sum checker that allows you to check and compare the md5 sums of files. It's portable, easy-to-use and quickly installs into the PortableApps.com Menu.

In XP I have a number of portable apps installed just on the C: drive - you do not need the portable apps front end. (see top of pic)
The bottom of the pic shows the T-Slacko ISO being checked with the same app running under wine in Slacko 5.3.3

Nice to offer a small pup. Actually, when you think about it a bit more, this could be the normal pup. And fatslacko the large one.
I am a bit puzzled by the choice of apps. Is seamonkey that much larger than separate firefox(older version) and e-mail. I would expect integrated packages to be efficient.

Could Opera be used ? (replace firefox, e-mail, transmission). Perhaps a 10.5 or so.

Yes, seamonkey is a 21MB pet, was 19 until the configure option "--enable-system-cairo" became unusable because they updated the cairo requirements. .

Seamonkey has Composer (wysiwyg html editor) included though and that's something missing from THINSlacko. Also, there are some CSS issues with firefox-3.6.28, not apparent in all the newer major browsers. HTML5 support is another.

The older firefox is still being developed so that swayed my decision to include it, Opera was an option too but printing from Opera still has issues.

So, there are a number of reasons I stuck with seamonkey in the main version.

I mainly built this for bragging rights.. (99 MB full featured ), still it is a useful pup and some don't like seamonkey._________________Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access

Namoroka maybe is different from standard FF but
on some sites they get very upset if one use FF of 3.6 series.
They want a later version due to security issues with 3.6

What is it about Firefox 3.6.28 (Namoroka) that you prefer it to later versions?

(I prefer FF 3.6.24 myself but that is more due to that one is familiar to me by habit. But sites tells me I ahve to update to later versions)_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Simple, the size of the pet. At around firefox-5 and seamonkey-2.4 mozilla started including libxul in their builds and this caused the package size to increase dramatically. Firefox-3.6.28 was released in March this year so is still recent and they do address security issues.

Sure, some sites object, but as stated, I wanted to see if it was still possible to get under that magical 100MB mark and not lose too many features. The main features missing are the gutenprint printer drivers (in PPM) and as said a HTML editor. I do have a Kompozer package I built and I should be uploading it to the repo soon.

Well I knocked up a Puppy version.. let me know if it works the same, I did try the windows version, seems the same
